Curate a Spoken Lives Event in your city

We have ambitious expansion plans to transplant these Circles of Support around the world.

Who do you know who wants to build and benefit from a vibrant circle of support in their own community?

Spoken Lives: Stories Women Share is an established speaker series where three real women share their stories of triumph, adventure and success from the stage. This inspiring series (four events) needs to reach women in new cities across Canada. We’re looking for Curators and Ambassadors in other cities to jump-start other Spoken Lives gatherings.

Curators receive a manual to guide them to set up these events, select the speakers and sponsors. They also benefit from the monthly mentoring calls with Elizabeth Verwey. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive and connected network and a unique way to build relationships with women in your community.

Spoken Lives Curators will:

Establish relationships and develop new friendships

Acquire the skills to plan and execute remarkable events

Get support & share experience with a professional and positive team

Refine your emcee skills to create successful Spoken Lives events

Raise your profile, locally

Become part of a national team of Spoken Lives Curators!

More Details:

Frequency of Events: 4 x per year
Format: 3 speakers share from the stage at each event (2.5 hours)
Audience: These events attract women who want to feel connected and supported by others. They are curious about others.
Ideal Curators: Coaches, connectors, entrepreneurs.

A word from our speakers

Sharing our experiences can build one’s confidence and faith. As a sole proprietor in a competitive, difficult industry, Spoken Lives is a foundational support for me, as I endeavour to stay true to myself and my goals. Through Spoken Lives, I am reminded that we can create communities that support one another rather than destroy ourselves through needless competition. Thank you Elizabeth Verwey for helping us to build new approaches that are sustainable and supportive.

Spoken Lives gave me the opportunity to reflect on myself and to weave together my activities – writing, weightlifting and canoeing, to make sense of how my ‘third act’ was unfolding. It was also an opportunity to share a more complete picture of myself with friends who came to listen, who were familiar with only part of my story. I received great feedback and the process itself has inspired more writing.
